Children's Book Illustration-Interior B&Ws


Daughter of Light

Orca Books 2001
Written by Martha Attema

B&W Pencil drawings





4 examples of interior illustrations for young reader fiction. I've illustrated 6 of these books including the covers. Generally, these interior "sketches" take about 4-5 hours including research. Every book, especially historical books with realistic figures requires quite a bit of digging around for good reference material. Everything including, clothing, landscapes and architecture needs to be acurate and I'm always on the lookout for interesting details to include in these images.
